Corbett national park : alarm calls : wake up… those who are either paid to look after…..or simply care !

Correct and meanigful Information is the key to promoting Eco Tourism !

But who is providing this….in Corbett National Park ?

Government/Park authorities ?

NO….There are a few brochures in the CTR office but the entire focus of tourists , guides, safari operators is on PERMITS….so the information gets lost somewhere !

The Dhangarhi museum is an attempt….but pretty dull….drab and archaic…

Resorts /Hotels ?

All the hotels , resorts etc. etc. have a naturalist/safari desk….but then why do tourists not seem to be adequately enthused/informed !

Naturalists/wild lifers/safari operators ?

There is a semblance of information dissemination here as well….but the REAL THING gets lost in the hype about alarm calls , pug marks and sightings !

So ???

In order to convert the tourists into travelers    …… and make them enthused about eco tourism and Nature love….. who has to put up their hand (S) ?

Maybe we shall do this in our own modest way !

Bhaskar-Bankriti are soon going to start an ECO TOURISM MEETING POINT  in Corbett region !

Please send us your suggestions and good wishes !

Why is there a need to change the governance model ?

Read this excerpt from PEGOMAG.COM

http://www.pegomag.com

 

Governance kills good governance

Forest officials are a threat to our forests

( This is a recent news item in a leading Indian daily )

Is it surprising ?

Not really….

As :

Educational experts are a threat to education

Defence experts seem to be a threat to peaceful living

Politicians are a threat to good governance

Bureaucrats are a threat to transparency in public life

Hospitals and pharmaceutical cos. are a threat to health-for-all

…..and so on…

 

Corbett National Park….is it under a threat ?

Tourism model of Corbett National Park ?

Is it a ‘hit-and-run’ safari-oriented tourism

with a focus on tiger sighting alone ???

What needs to be done, probably, is a total  RELOOK at  the whole thing

….about Carrying Capacity ….and gates …and permits etc !

Let us not get over obsessed with historical ‘ways’ in which tourism had started and developed !

Let us Give a professional REVAMP !

……or else….

Plan well in advance….a month at least

Do not think it is any other ‘hill’ station !

Find out about safaris and stay inside the forest….information is available but NOT READILY

Go as a seeker of experiences….not merely for tiger sighting !

Ask experts and regular visitors….check blogs and web sites….ask BANKRITI !

Disappearing tiger ! A point of view poetry-painting combination

Disappearing tiger

We often talk of the disappearing tiger
And cry ourselves hoarse…
We have to save….have to conserve
Eco sense says this of course !

But what I saw in a forest …I swear
a regal  tiger….disappear …
behind a thick screen of  majestic trees
and I thought….all these brave theories….

….We can’t do a thing if we do not see
The simplicity…….This simple beauty
…merely cry wolf….and shout some slogan…
Lets live and love….our job is done !!!
